72 I use Hobbyking's Turnigy Nanotech batteries and have no complaints.
An 1800mA/h 4S is going to weigh 207g. That's probably as much as the entire 210 quad weighs without battery!
It will fly like a bathtub.

45 I would check out RMRC and GetFPF, both American companies with great products and excellent customer service.

TomBDBad turned me on to Indestructable Quad's Black Label batteries @ $20 each.
https://indestructiblequads.com/collecti...ah-battery So far they've managed to stand up to heavy abuse. In fact at the moment they're the only battery brand that I've used that I haven't yet destroyed any of them yet lol.

31 On GetFPV: their brand lumenier batteries have all failed on me except 2 so far (I've owned 8 total). But I buy all kinds of stuff from those guys myself. Since I am in GA and they're in FL stuff usually gets to me in 2-3 days so they're kind of my go-to

0 One thing I'd like to add.
Research shows that the primary cause of battery degradation is storage at a high state of charge (full)
From what I could find there is no real downside in storing at 3,8 or 3,7 or 3,6 for that matter.
Low voltage does not impact the battery degradation much, having they laying arround at 4,2 does.
They reason you probably should store them at 3,8 is to ensure they lipo does not self-discharge to a rate in which the cells get permanent damage (3,8 gives you plenty of buffer for that)
And it makes parallel charging much easier as they all have the same voltage.
That being said, landing at 3,7v and just let the lipo be shouldnt really not be an issue at all.
Same go's for receiving a Lipo shipped at 30%, correct me if I'm wrong.

6 As long as each cell is @ ~3.7V, you should be fine.
